Queens Parking

The easternmost of New York City's boroughs, Queens occupies the biggest area and houses the second largest population among the five boroughs with over 2.2 million people. 48% of this 2.2 million are foreign-born and represent over 100 different nations, speaking over 138 different languages; making Queens the most ethnically diverse urban region in the world today.

Queens was established way back 1683 and was one of the original 12 counties of New York. Queens got its name from the Portuguese princess Catherine of Braganza who was at the time queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland - hence the name Queens. In 1898, Queens became a borough of modern day New York City.

Two of the three major New York City airports take off and land in Queens; JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport. Both airports are among the busiest in the world and are the main contributors in making Queens' airspace as the most congested in the country.

Attractions in Queens are not as flashy as the ones you'd find in Manhattan but they are nevertheless worth the visit. Among these attractions are Flushing Meadows Park, Kaufman Astoria Studios, Silvercup Studios, and the Aqueduct Racetrack.

Queens features a robust economy second only to Manhattan with a 15.2% share of all private sector jobs in New York City and had almost 40,000 business establishments last 2003. Complementing its diverse ethnicity, Queens also has the most diversified economy of the five boroughs. Jobs are evenly spread across health care, retail trade, manufacturing, construction, transportation, and entertainment; not one sector is overwhelmingly dominant.

Queens is 2.2 million strong and projected to become the most populous borough by 2025, is the fourth-most densely populated county, and has a dynamic and diverse economy.
